My wife leans to the left. I believe it started two years ago when she was started on anxiety drugs. Are you on any anxiety drugs?

Has he been checked for scoliosis? I started leaning to the left a couple of years ago about the time an X-ray showed I had scoliosis caused from problems with the L4 and L5. Facet joints.
